:
One of the most famous stretches of scenic
highway in America, the Tunnel of Trees,
follows M-­119 (Lake Shore Drive) and
extends 20 miles from Harbor Springs
north to Cross Village, in beautiful
northern Michigan. Snaking its way
around the twists and turns of the
Lake Michigan shoreline, the Tunnel
of Trees offers unparalleled views of
the coast. Points of interest along the
way include views of Beaver Island
and area lighthouses, historic
highway markers, and one of a kind
shopping and dining.
Notable curves and mile markers begin
just north of the quaint town of Harbor Springs.

9.4 miles: HORSE SHOE BEND
11 miles: DEVIL’S ELBOW
Legend has it that the infamous Devil’s

darkness.

Once visible from M-­119, this church is now shrouded
by growing trees along the bluff. Don’t miss a stop at

Springs and Cross Village. It was
RIÀFLDOO\named in 1827 for the
Middle Village chief’s brother,
“Kaw-­me-­no-­te-­a,” meaning “good
hearted”. Records show a U.S. Post

lumber town, Cross Village is
one of the oldest settlements in
the state of Michigan. The town’s
rich history has strong ties to Old
World Europe and the local Native
American Odawa population. Early
historical accounts indicate that
Father Jacques Marquette, the French
Jesuit who endeared himself to the
Natives, planted a huge white cross
on the bluff overlooking Lake
Michigan, before his death in 1675.
Today, a replica of this cross stands at
the edge of the bluff, and is visible far offshore.
As late as 1787, as many as 20 tribes populated the

To early Native Americans, this area was once known
as the “Land of the Cross.”
